From the Ne,o York Evening Sun
There was a scene at Pooles Theatre on We'd
nesday night not on the programme. "A Cele-
brated Case" was being played, and Valentine
de Mornay" had just had a stormy interview
with the pretended Count. The case containing
the family jewels lay on the table, and "Valen-
tine" sadly lifted the lid to make a selection for
the evening reception.
Bracelets, rings, lockets," she murmured,
land this necklace"
She drew from the box glittering necklace
that flashed and sparkled and threw back at tho
footlights their Pickering rays,
"RubleS, SapphireS and emeraldsn she said
mechanically, as if repeating something that
she had once heard and ill remembered. Then
she Sprang to her feet and cried out:
1t is the necklace that was torn from the
neck of murdered Madelaine, and which Jean
Remand said would detect the murderer. My
father is the assassin"
She fell back in the chair A burst of passion
shook her as the summer storm shivers the
aspen. The scene was solemn and impressive
lady in the parquet sobbed aloud for sympa-
thy, and newsboy in the upper gallery said
audiby: Der poor girl takes it rough -
Valentine intutively felt the sympathy, and
bent to more passion gusts, while her white
forehead rested upon the table in an abandon
ment of woe.
For moment there was an awful silence A
large black cat which had been sleeping be-
neneath Valentines chair had been awakened
by the violence of the storm above. 1t walked
out with dignity, and after casting reproach-
full glance at the sorrow struck girl, advanced to
the centre of the stage, and looking at the audi
ence as if to say, I'm not responsible for this,
and want you to understand it, jumped over
the orchestra leaders head and disappeared up
the centre aisle.
Then there was q gust of laughter that Valen-
tine could not understand

J. Harris Rogers, of Pan-Electric fame
has come to the front again. In pamphlet
recently published he decribes a new inven-
ton of his which he calls "Visual Synchron-
ISM" He says of it that it enables one in
effect, though not in reality, to see by cleo
trictity any number of revolving wheels or
moving mechanism, thousands of miles
away, so that absolute harmony or syn
chronism is preserved to them ALL The
new system may be applied wherever wheels
or moving mechanism may be utilized in
telegraphy. electric locomotion horology,
printing, etc. It solves the greatest prob
lem of electrical communication, and will
render messages so cheap, it is
predicted, that all governments must adopt
it, and ultimately send their letters by wire
instead of by rail. Rogers also says that by
his system he will be able to transmit pho
tographs, landscapes, and handwriting by
electricity. He invites capitalists to invest
in visual Synchronisin" stock, but he says
that "Pan-Electric statesmen of the high
stepping variety need not apply" 1t is to be
hoped that Visual Synchronismn will not
become a political ISSUE The country
couldn't very well stand Pan Electric and
"Visual Synchronisn" at the same time.
